Lockout Options Question

Factory e-locker from ~08+. There was a thread on the other site.

when I swap my axles in, I'm planning on factory elocker in the back, and warn lockouts up front. If I can find a reasonable selectable locker for the front, I'll do that as well.

It's a tow rig though, not really a wheeler.

My Bronco is more of a tow rig/expedition rig:

Since I'm thinking of putting an OX in the rear axle; I should also put a cable-actuated OX in the front as well?

Sure, I don't have any personal experience with OX lockers, but what I have heard seems positive. You could run a different selectable in the front if you want if that was the real question; it doesn't matter if you run different types of selectable lockers front vs. rear.

I believe its 2011 and up, not '08. I could be wrong though

'11+ is correct, that is why the locker doesn't have the notch for the tone ring. '08-'10 were still single channel rear ABS and did not have a factory locker available.
 
Back to the front- how about a Jana76? The eLocker is made for the 70, and Chevy makes a few high-pinion 70 gears.

Maybe overkill for an expo rig, but not a lot more expensive if you're buying a carrier and gears.

AN UPDATE:
I decided on going with a Yukon Grizzly, but there is a nation-wide shortage.

So I went with the tried-and-true Detroit locker and 5.13.


Also; I decided to put the camper in the Bronco bed.
